Starbucks' green tea latte speaks of brilliant ingenuity. If not for the existence of bubble tea & also, its exorbitant price, it would have jolly well emerged among the top of the list of my all-time favourite things. What a pity, though, for it's still a rare gem that warrants indulgence only occasionally (and I believe it will remain that way).
Digression aside — I finally got myself a cup on Saturday night. But of course, it wasn't the sole reason behind my optimism. That fateful Saturday night, too, marked the move of my church to its new building at Suntec City, and that alone was enough to stir all the excitement in me.
Thankfully, the events progressed very smoothly, despite the fact that the move was obviously under massive speculation by the mass media due to its involvement in earlier controversies. But just how much does that amount to, compared to the presence of God that has flowed so abundantly & richly in His house that night? I believe that Saturday was truly a new dawn for the church, and that more has yet to come for the congregation that has so valiantly stood by its ideals of loving God wholeheartedly & loving people fervently. We should never cease to encourage ourselves in Him.
Also, like any other church night, there was a fellowship session among the cell group members after service. Frankly it wasn't a very productive one; it was rocky, even. At least managed to find a place to eat at. I suppose that was good enough.
Over dinner, I also met Jiayu, a cosplayer ex-classmate Rashid told me about. Our meeting further unfolded more revelations. It's amazing how peoples' lives can get so intertwined. But then again, Singapore's nothing more than a little red dot.
On the train ride home, I picked up a little bit of Cantonese — with much thanks to Jonathan. Had some fun translating Mandarin to Cantonese, especially those phrases which sounded funny in the dialect. There was even one that sounded like a rap, but I'm not exactly sure of what that phrase is already (my memory seems to always fail me when I need it most). All I know is that it has got something to do with buns.
Starbucks, church, dinner, buns. Guess that succinctly sums up my Saturday.
